Good start, Matt. Your geographical description is helpful in explaining the relative affluence of your neighborhood. Please clean up your capitalizations, etc!. Be sure that for each paragraph, you start with a summarizing topic sentence followed by a sentence for each supporting statistic that includes a comparison between your zip and either the state or the US. End with either a conclusion statement and / or a transition statement that lets reader know what is coming up. - fogleman Oct 11, 2010
